Do you know someone who can use help with a bullying issue at work or at school? Are you a victim of bullying behavior? Do you suffer from bystander guilt? In my practice I work with individuals on a wide range of issues, however, I specialize in preventing the bullying dynamic at work and at school. Because I am a nationally recognized speaker and author on this topic, I am comfortable dealing with it from all angles including speaking to schools. I am an adjunct professor for Adams State and I teach on topics that are of particular interest to me including bullying, cyberbullying, self esteem and communication.

I believe healing occurs when we - courageously - relate directly to difficulty with compassion and acceptance. I hope to create a dynamic, interactive, and nurturing space in which I can support your personal empowerment in the practice of healing; to discover and utilize your compassion to relate in a healthy way to difficult as well as positive experiences, as defined by you. I take a holistic approach to counseling, including body, mind, and spirit in my work with clients. I am passionate about working with individuals struggling with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, issues of identity, career transitions, and lifestyle balance. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is a unique type of mood disorder. You may have already been diagnosed and want support with coping, or you may be wondering if you suffer from this disorder. I am here to help.
